This Week at School!

In math this week students have been working on demonstrating fluency for addition facts within 20. They have been using strategies such as counting on and making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 14 and 10 + 4 = 14) or 10 + 7 = 17.  The students have played addition within 20 bingo games to help with the counting on strategy.

 

In literacy, students looked at the stories, The Three Snow Bears and Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Jan Brett.  They summarized the beginning, middle and end, answered specific comprehension questions in order to demonstrate understanding of key details and compared and contrasted both stories.  They completed a venn diagram on the adventures and experiences of characters in each story to demonstrate this understanding.  

  

During Inquiry, students began their journey to Iqaluit and how where we live affects who we are.  They looked at a map of Canada and located where Iqaluit is on a map and discussed how they would get there.  Through rotations this week, students discussed what they would take and where they would live, what arctic animals they would encounter, and what they would eat when they are visiting Iqaluit.  They also discussed how living in Alberta and Iqaluit are different and why. 

Metis Week!

This week we learned about Metis history, people, traditions, and dance. 

We learned and practiced the Metis Jig!

We made Poppy and turtle dot art inspired by Metis artist Christi Belcourt!

We learned the importance of the Metis sash and made our own by finger weaving!

It was so much exploring Metis culture this week!

This Week at School

In math, students continued to explore different ways to represent numbers to 100 using base ten and ones. In Ms. Gibbsè class, students made a beaded number line and practiced place value (groups of tens and ones) and adding.

In literacy, students wrote and drew an illustration in their visual journal of what peace means to them. They also learned the new song, “I’ve Got Peace In My Fingers”.

During inquiry, students finished their good copy of their illustration using water coloured paint. They also worked with Ms. Taylor to narrate their part of the story for our online book.

Our Remembrance Day Song

We have been practicing our song (while socially distanced and with masks on) for Keeler School's Virtual Remembrance Day Ceremony.

Click on the link above and have your child practice our song at home! We will be recording our song on Monday for the assembly! 

We have been learning what Peace means to us and have read Todd Parr's The Peace Book. We have been writing and illustrating what Peace means to us. 

"Peace means playing with a friend."

"Peace means saying you're sorry."

"Peace means helping your friend when they are hurt."

What does Peace mean to you?
